Hi, I have read about the lenses, was just looking around. In my country someone has a T* black lens 80mm with red numbers on the barrel. Is that different to a CT*? The picture looks different to Keh's at least.


Thanks.

Lots of discussion about the C vs CT 80: https://www.google.com/search?q=80m...urceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&hl=en-US&espv=1

Actually that's C vs CF (both T) but I'll leave it in case some links there help.

To my knowledge: The Black "C" lenses were all T* lenses, while some of the earlier Silver ones were not. Optically I understand these to be the same as the later CF lenses but with a different shutter.

The lens on my 500CM here is a "C T*" in black.

I have a T* black 120 Macro lens and you can cut yourself just looking through the viewfinder.
